familiar figures at the National Grange
meeting is that of "Uncle" John Arm.
strong Of Illinois. For the past IA years
Mr.. Armstrong has been in attendance al
the National Grange and though he Is NOT
a delegate his absence would be almost as
Noticeable as that of the worthy master
In former years hs was the treasurer of the
State Grange of Illinois, and at that time
he got into the habit of attending the Ma
tionsl meetings. In consideration of his
constancy he has been recorded directly un
der the names Of the founders OF the order
The old gentleman has left behind him
the regulation three score years and ten and
he probably has but few more meetings
of the National Grange to attend as the
mascot member from Illinois" But we
are not 80 sure Of that, as Mr.. A. comes OF
a long. lived race and Is to all intents and
purposes as hale and hearty today as he
was Is years ago.
